Backgrounds and what gym or region you represent aren’t the only determining factors that stick out in the mind of the UFC when it comes to getting the stars of the future to ink their names on the bottom line and lay the first brick down on superstar road. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will be introduced to a skilful and sly finisher laying siege to the southwestern MMA scene with his mastery of MMA tactics and a hot mixture of submissions off his back and dynamite in his hands times two. A professional since February 2014 and representing Seige MMA, Kamuela Kirk owns an 8-3 record in 11 professional bouts comprised of five submissions and three knockouts. Kirk appeared on week five during the third season of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series in 2019 and has also competed with Legacy Fighting Alliance. All eight of his victories in his professional career thus far have ended in a finish.
